"Thanks, Jeff.  I like your idea.  I think I'll try this on the headstock I'm working on now.  The pic was a big help.  "

"This board was only 3/4 not as thick as yours. This what I did to avoid thinning the area. Used 2 boring bits, 1 the thickness of the tuner shaft, the other the size of the washer. Used a hand drill, a little sketchy but not to bad"

"I think I will try the Fortsner bit.  I don't own a drill press and I've heard the Forstner bits can be hard to drill straight by hand.  But I'll give it a try.  Thanks!"

"You could take a 3/4" fostner bit and drill down about 1/8" or so to expose more of the tuner. Or what i do is a pocket peghead, routering out an 1/8" overall depth on the whole peghead top."

"3 a side on a plate tuners are a little bit longer for slotted headstocks, but the farther your wraps are from the gear, the harder it will be to turn. 16-17mm is thick enough for fender and gibson, thick enough for you too..."
